The right choice of cables for data centers

时间:2021-03-03   访问量:6161

When choosing the right optical cable for the data center, the design should take into account the application, distance, data transmission rate, and the difficulty and cost of future upgrades.


Multimode fiber has always been the choice of enterprise system networking architecture (ESCON) and its related switch networks, and most modern SAN and LANs also use multimode fiber.Other applications such as fiber channel connection structures (FICON) may require the use of single-mode connections, while tape or disk storage selects the fiber type based on the interface.SYSTIMAXLazrSPEED laser-optimized multimode fiber solution improves performance to 10Gb/s and a distance of up to 550 meters, while reducing costs by reducing the expensive optoelectronics equipment originally used to achieve 10Gb/s transmission on multimode fiber.LazrSPEED is an ideal solution for various data center storage configurations that require flexible and upgradeable fiber channels, especially for Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centers that use redundant network topologies to ensure network continuity.


For long-distance requirements or some specific applications, such as FICON, single-mode fiber can provide LAN solutions at higher rates.For extended backbone network links, single-mode fiber is the perfect complement to multimode fiber.When multimode fiber cannot meet the distance requirements, a single-mode solution can be used as an alternative.SYSTIMAXTeraSPEEDTM zero water peak single-mode fiber solution provides the most widely used band by reducing the high loss caused by water impurities in the 1,400nm area.With the elimination of ”water peaks", the entire frequency band from 1,260nm to 1,620 nm can be used, and through the use of economical and practical coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) technology, the expansion of data transmission rates and the provision of other services can be realized in the future.


TeraSPEED or LazrSPEED optical fiber, when used in SYSTIMAX interlocking armored indoor cables, can provide a sturdy infrastructure that has been in use for several years.Interlocking armored cables add a layer of cable protection, which is very useful when the wiring passes through the floor or overhead cable trough.The cost of interlocking armored cables is lower than that of cables with conduits, the installation time is halved, and it only takes up less than one-half of the path space.


When the data center needs to be quickly configured or reset, the SYSTIMAXInstaPATCHPlus system is undoubtedly the best choice. It has the characteristics of high density, factory termination, factory testing, and modularity, allowing installers to easily and quickly connect system components. Using this modular wiring method to connect 96-core optical fibers takes the same time as traditional methods to connect single-core optical fibers.The system combines SYSTIMAXLazrSPEED multimode fiber and TeraSPEED single-mode fiber technology to support the current most demanding applications while allowing the existing technology to easily transition to the next generation of technology.


In order to meet the requirements of high-performance data centers, the InstaPATCHPlus system includes pre-terminated hardware, pre-terminated backbone optical cables, enhanced MPO-LC/SC/ST optical fiber branch jumpers and standard optical fiber jumpers. It uses universal modules, universal fan-out and standard optical fiber jumpers to maintain easy installation and management advantages, while facilitating future upgrades.In addition, the InstaPATCHPlus system has an improved labeling system, which is positioned in four directions, accurate and logical, and can provide more flexibility in design, installation, and application.


The advantages of this system for data center designers include easy installation and a simple and economical migration path for future upgrades to higher bandwidth.The current data center configuration involves serial networking using backbone optical cables and multi-duplex branch jumpers to maintain the polarity between the transmitted and received signals through keying matching connections.However, in the future, mainstream applications will develop into completely parallel networks and transmit higher bandwidth on multiple channels.The InstaPATCHPlus system has been designed with this transition in mind.As long as the duplex module is simply removed, the module with only MPO is inserted and the cable of the MPO device is connected to the network device, the conversion from serial networking to completely parallel networking can be achieved.


Whether YOU choose to install multi-mode, single-mode, indoor, outdoor, indoor/outdoor, ST/SC/LC, or pre-terminated, SYSTIMAX fiber optic wiring solutions PROVIDE a comprehensive range of products to meet the unique requirements of the DATA CENTER environment.SYSTIMAX optical fiber solution series includes a wide range of optical cables, connectors, connectors, distribution racks and jumpers. Its excellent component combination can optimize performance and truly provide users with end-to-end system solutions.
